Output in context · Hoffenheim II finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
3.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 38.8, Engelns carries the 2nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the 3. Liga (top 25%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Hoffenheim II finished 16th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.58 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
